The option-key must be used in order to get the command-keystroke on the remote host.

People disapointed with JollysFastVNC's new (expensive) pricing should consider Chicken of the VNC. I believe most people will find it good enough and a more sensible option.

Does NOT work with the vmware server running on linux ("connection failed" while other vnc clients work)
Has major problems with "qemu -vnc" running on FreeBSD with experiencing (screen blanks at random intervals). I tried JollysFastVNC, wich worked fine for connecting to qemu.
Also, "Chicken of the VNC" still uses a "Display" type field to specify the destination port and calculates 5900+Display as the port number. Connecting to VNC-Servers on non-standard ports < 5900 is therefore not possible. Why not just let the user enter a port number???

I have seen some situations where the window would not repaint while another VNC program did work fine.
I only have 1 enhancement request: Provide the auto scaling based on window size as another program provides!
I will probably keep both programs on my computer until this program has this feature.

"Connection Terminated
The server closed the connection"
But I can still connect with Apple's Remote Desktop. After I restart the computer, I can connect with Chicken again.

This is for a mac --> mac connection, and I don't have any of the universal access options turned on such as sticky keys.
